Moon Photography

Hi there — I'm Monique (also known as Moon) and my heart belongs to family photography. As a specialist in family shoots I work a lot in Wijchen and the surrounding area (including Nijmegen) and capture your real moments with a light, cozy and natural style. My work is all about connection: those small looks, an unexpected hug, and the simple joy of being together. Why choose Moon Photography? Because I don't work with forced poses or picture-perfect setups, but with warmth and authenticity. My approach is lifestyle and relaxed: we often take a walk in one of my favourite outdoor locations or I photograph you at home — places where children can be themselves and the most spontaneous, beautiful images arise. In that familiar atmosphere you get photos you'll smile back at for years to come. How do I work with families? We coordinate location and clothing together in advance (I'm happy to help with styling). On the day itself I create a loose, playful atmosphere; I give gentle prompts but mainly leave room for your moments. With children I work lightly and with humour so everyone quickly feels at ease. Right after the shoot I usually send a sneak preview — because I know you're curious — and then I carefully edit each photo. You will receive a personal online gallery where you can choose your favourites. What sets my approach apart? My background as an education specialist combined with years of full-time photography experience means I blend the practical and the creative well: I know the best local spots, I know how to guide children without pressure, and I edit with attention to mood and colour. I also maintain a small client-closet with dresses and accessories that can give your images that little extra. Optionally, I offer a short video upgrade to complement your photos — a lovely way to preserve those fleeting, moving moments. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed family shoot, child portraits or a newborn lifestyle session, I deliver images that are warm, timeless and full of emotion. Send me a message and we'll plan your family shoot in Wijchen/Nijmegen together — I look forward to capturing your story. With love, Moon
